“Of course, we highly appreciate the fact that Europe invited Azerbaijan to this event. This is a new platform, and discussions have just begun.” This was stated by President Ilham Aliyev in Prague in an interview with Azerbaijani television channels.
The head of the Azerbaijani state noted that it is impossible to give an unambiguous forecast about the future fate of this initiative.
“But in any case, the fact that both the European Union and the Czech Republic invited Azerbaijan to the European family suggests that our relations have excellent prospects,” said President Ilham Aliyev.
The head of state also noted that the European Union countries are the main trading partners of Azerbaijan. The growing role of Azerbaijan in the geopolitical space is certainly manifested both in the economic sphere and in the investment sphere, said President Ilham Aliyev.
The head of state praised the increase in the last months of contacts between the European Union and Azerbaijan, as well as an increase in mutual trust.
